dc.description.abstract | In this thesis I examine the existence of seasonality in quarterly transaction volume and capital returns in commercial real estate markets from 1984 to 2005, based on MIT's Transaction-Based Index. Evidence is provided that (1) transaction volume distributions in fourth quarter and capital returns distributions on all properties in third quarter have large means relative to the remaining three quarters; (2) there exists 4-quarter lagged systematic seasonality in capital returns on all properties, based on the results from an autocorrelation function. | en_US |
